The New York Giants may have lost starting outside linebacker and defensive end Olivier Vernon for the start of the season.
Or they may not have.
Vernon suffered an ankle injury in practice Sunday afternoon when his feet got tangled with a blocker’s during a team drill. He was quickly carted off the field and after practice head coach Pat Shurmur confirmed that Vernon did indeed suffer an ankle injury, but the team’s medical staff was still “evaluating” the injury.
Monday morning we received mixed messaged from insiders regarding the severity of Vernon’s injury and the potential timeline of his recovery.
